Shuttleworth announced that Ubuntu 18.04 LTS Bionic Beaver would be supported for one decade. Usually, the LTS Ubuntu releases enjoy a 5-year support and updates. “I’m delighted to announce that Ubuntu 18.04 will be supported for a full 10 years,” he said.

That’s not it. Canonical is also looking to extend its support for Ubuntu 16.04; its support is due to end in April 2021.
